"Orang-orang Filipina itu telah diyakinkan bahawa untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan dia perlu mengetepikan maruahnya sebagai makhluk yang rasional. Dia perlu hadir ke upacara keagamaan, percaya pada apa yang diberitahu, membayar dan menderita dalam diam tanpa bercita-cita. Dia harus terus-meneruskan tid
Jose Rizal was a philosopher hero of the Philippines who was executed by the Spanish army for his trouble.
